*4 months later*

At the army base, all of the soldiers were getting ready for the battle to fight off the Tiger soldiers, when Goldhorn was heard calling out to them as soon as he blew his whistle.

"SOLDIERS ASSEMBLE!" He called out to his army.

All of the soldiers did as he says and came to assemble as they paid attention to their leader. Zippy, however, was a bit nervous at first, but he hides it so Goldhorn wouldn't find out about it.

"Alright, today is the day we go into the war!" Goldhorn demands bravely. "We're going to hop in our planes, helicopters, and fighter jets, head out into the battlefield, and fight off the tigers and kill them all, in order to win victory. Do I make myself clear?!"

"SIR YES SIR!" The Soldiers loudly answered their general.

"Alright then, let's go out there and teach those tigers a lesson!" Goldhorn demands.

"SIR YES SIR!" The Soldiers answered.

They get everything ready for battle and hop in their planes, helicopters, and fighter jets, and then they took off to The Tiger island, to fight off the Tiger Soldiers. Zippy was a little nervous at first, but he pulls himself together as he flew his plane in the sky, and follows the rest of the army.

"Okay Zippy, you can do this, try not to get distracted on your thoughts, just stay focused and stick to what you're good at, and show them what you got, this is your only chance you got left to survive, I can make this, I'll make my family proud, must be brave." Zippy thought to himself.

As the army arrived to Tigers island, they saw enemies in their jets, helicopters, and fighter planes coming towards them. They started firing at each other, trying to dodge their attacks and hitting their targets. Goldhorn spots one of the enemies coming towards him.

"Tiger at 12:00!" Goldhorn said. "I got this guys."

Goldhorn aims his target and fires at the enemy, which he successfully hit and killed him. Goldhorn smiles at this at first, but then he noticed another enemy coming in Zippy's way.

"Zippy, to your right!" Goldhorn demands.

"I see them Goldhorn." Zippy replies as he saw another enemy.

He tries to aim his target, but his thoughts about Baby Flippy from 3 years ago almost distracted him, almost causing him to fly past the tiger soldier, but quickly, he snapped out of his thoughts and shook his head, before going after the enemy.

"Come on Zippy, stay focused!" He says to himself.

Zippy aims his target and finally fires his missile at the tiger soldier, killing him, before Zippy went to the other way.

"Phew, that was so close, I almost went past him, but at least I got him." Zippy thought, before thinking about his son again, which is really starting to worry him a little bit.

"That was a great shot!" Goldhorn said, which made Zippy snap out of his thoughts.

"Oh, uh, thanks, I guess." Zippy says nervously.

"Just try not to think about your son Zippy, you know we're at war right now, we're not at home." Goldhorn said.

Zippy was getting really worried about his family right now, he doesn't know what to do without them.

"I'm sorry, alright?" Zippy asked. "I don't think I should keep leaving my children, Angel is only 9 years old and Flippy is only 3, I don't know what to do without them."

Goldhorn can tell Zippy misses his family very much, but he isn't willing to let him go yet since Zippy is his soldier after all.

"It'll be okay Zippy, you'll be able to get a chance to see them again very soon, but please listen to me." Goldhorn said, trying to comfort his close friend. "We all have family members we have to leave behind, even as a soldier, we really do, I'm sure we'll make it, I promise we will, you understand?"
